Francesco Morosini
I re-drew Francesco Morosini to make her look more like Aquila/Europa. Also reverted to a single hangar deck as historical.
Overall I like her but I think her Island looks rather bland, perhaps moving some of those light guns to sponsons along her island would make her look more balanced visually.
I can see what you mean. I'll try and do something about it.
I don't recall but does Francesco Morosini retain her original machinery layout as her Battlecruiser cousins? If so you have an addition for your Francesco Caracciolo drawing.
I don't know about you but some of my ship drawings are in their third incarnation as my drawing skills improve, which benifits the others I've yet to draw.
She retains the same general layout as the Caracciolos, but with more powerful machinery. My drawings are getting incrementally improved as well.
...as our eyesight gets worse from staring at the computer screen! I've spent this Sunday drawing two of my destroyer leader CL's off and on all day!
Nice pic, the crane is useless - I can't see how it could fish a plane out of the drink and get it to the flight deck. I'd try the after end of the superstructure.
The uptakes from the port boilers must be horizontal.
Cheers,
The crane is more for the boats and general equipment. Boilers; I've no idea how it was done historically, but it was.
